While visiting itelligence’s website you may be directed to content or functionality that is hosted by a third-party supplier, not on itelligence.com. Most often, this is done to host special events, such as contests or seminars. When information is collected on behalf of itelligence exclusively, the appropriate itelligence entity’s Privacy Statement will be referenced on the site and will govern how information is used. For other, non-itelligence sites, the site’s owner’s privacy policy will be referenced. It is itelligence’s practice to require such suppliers and business partners to handle information in a manner consistent with itelligence’s Privacy Statement.
